Description: The Claremont Hotel can be seen in the background on the left of the boat. This photograph was taken from Connor's Point in Southwest Harbor, Maine.
The boathouse just visible over "Lillian's" bowsprit belonged to William Doane Stanley (1855-1932), "Uncle Jimmy." His Chester Clement built passenger launch, "Leader" is on the shore to the right of the boathouse. Jimmy used her to carry summer people in the summer. In the winter he took off the wicker chairs etc. and used her to carry sardines to the factories.

The boat in front is the "Sweet Pea'' owned by "Peter" Richardson, Great Cranberry Island. Lewis Gilley Stanley was sailing her the day the picture was taken. The yawl behind "Sweet Pea" is "Electron II" owned by Professor Holmes of the University of Vermont Physics department. He adjusted and fixed compasses for fishermen for free.
